Resident Evils gameplay has always taken a front seat in terms of what players rally around while narrative quirks and inconsistencies are typically accepted. Resident Evil 4 is all the evidence anyone needs of this notion being true since its explanation for transitioning from Raccoon City being nuked and Umbrella being a massive threat is shaky at best, legitimately boiling down to stock prices plummeting for the pharmaceutical company. Such details make it difficult to reason with logic in Resident Evil, even science-fiction logic, but thankfully its gameplay is always where attention is drawn to instead.
